| Abstract/Contents: | States that "football pitches are usually sown with perennial ryegrass as the dominant grass due to its hard-wearing nature and favourable [favorable] playing characteristics." Also states that "the spread of annual meadow-grass on newly constructed football pitches continues to be a common and persistent problem." Describes an experimental trial conducted "to investigate the relative effectiveness of mechanical and chemical treatments to control the spread of annual meadow-grass on football pitches." Concludes that "both the chemical and physical control techniques used in this research were effective at controlling the amount of annual meadow-grass in the sward." |
